...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed...
Patrick Henry (1736-1799) US Founding Father

UPDATE: Read the comments to learn how and why conservatives are stupid and liberals are smart, witty and always right and never ever wrong. According to the professor this is scientific fact and since it is liberal "fact" it is always right and never wrong even when it has been thoroughly debunked as tripe. If you don't know it's the professor that's because he keeps using different names, logs in as "guest" or "anonymous" and masks his IP address because stupid conservatives ban him because we're afraid of his "facts."Yeah.

The perpetually petulant and always smug Occupy crowd is taking their “give us more” message to Iowa and the Republican caucuses.

No doubt they will be warmly embraced as outsiders who have no place there as well as for their tiresome whining. On the bright side is the fact that they are being bused in from the east and west coast which will diversify Iowa with bad accents and bad fashion.

Who knows, maybe they might take a back to nature job shoveling crap, plucking chickens or Porta-Potty delivery and placement.

Bill Maher is one of the most estimable humans on the planet. What he considers funny is probably so only to those as low as he. Yep, Bill ain't funny. He's a hater and he makes a lot of money off his hate. He is too cool to believe in anything better than himself. It shows. What a sad little boy man.

Got to the airport before the government told me I had to be there. I had the correct number of articles for carry on and no liquids over the mandated danger point. I was rubbed, patted and x-rayed by TSA protected union agents and found to be not a threat. Got to the gate in the correct government allotted time.

From Christian Schneider, over at The Corner:Last week, I pointed out that in the ongoing effort to recall Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, any signature submitted to the state Government Accountability Board would be given the presumption of validity. Furthermore, the Board itself won’t be checking the veracity of signatures — they count until Scott Walker’s campaign challenges them.

This came to a head at a GAB meeting on Tuesday, when election officials admitted names like “Mickey Mouse” and “Adolph Hitler” would count toward the 540,000 signatures needed to force a recall election. That is, unless Walker’s volunteers can enter hundreds of thousands of signatures into a database and challenge the fraudulent ones within the ten-day window. (This, of course, assumes that Adolph Hitler is not actually alive, living in Wisconsin, and supporting the recall Walker effort. If he is, the state has a lot more to worry about than protecting union benefits.)The Mickey Mouse and Hitler hypotheticals are ridiculous examples meant to demonstrate how screwed up the signature verification process is. But, in fact, it’s much worse than it seems. It’s not easily recognizable names like these that should concern Walker. He needs to worry about the fabricated names that don’t stand out, and therefore will be impossible to challenge in a timely manner.

Say, for instance, you’re an elderly volunteer scanning a list of recall signatures. You see the names “Wyatt Donnelly,” “Freddy Newandyke,” “Frances Buxton,” and “Emil Schuffhausen.”Those names are, in order: The [y are in] in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. But unless Leonard Maltin is scanning those signature sheets on that day, all those names will count.

Also difficult to find will be the people who signed multiple recall petitions. Under the rules, someone can sign as many times as they want, but only one signature will count. It is then incumbent upon the recall target to sift through hundreds of thousands of signatures and challenge the duplicates. One guy boasted of signing up to 80 petitions — meaning, some campaign volunteer will have to play “find the other 79.”And this is how the unions will attempt to unseat Gov. Scott Walker…

Personally, I think they should be arrested and charged with sedition.

It appears that I, apparently suffering from a “personality disorder,” am an “ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist.” It’s tough work, but I guess someone has to do it, especially when my so-called “theory” is based on the writings of the very scientists acknowledging that they have concocted the fraud called AGW.

It the mind of an ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist, any level of denial and idiocy is possible. These are the same people who believe in a magical being that rose from the dead and walked on water, yet are in denial of what our best science and military say is fact.

How about that?

If that's not a mental illness, I'd say it's at least a personality disorder.

Which brings us to Climategate. Climategate parts one and two are a series of leaked e-mails from arguably the most prominent researchers promoting the idea that humans are causing catastrophic global warming. The e-mails show the scientists involved to be violating their professional ethics with the result that climate science in particular and science as an institution more generally is brought into question.

The first group of e-mails released in 2009 showed scientists attempting to suppress or alter inconvenient data, destroying raw data so that others would be unable to analyze it, using tricks to change reported outcomes, conspiring to avoid legally required disclosure of taxpayer-funded data, and trying to suppress dissent by undermining the peer review process. On the latter point the researchers involved threatened to boycott and get editors fired at journals publishing findings questioning the urgency of the climate crisis.

Climategate 2 is a second release of e-mails, in November 2011, from the same cabal of scientists exposed in Climategate 1. There is little new to the revelations—just more hiding data, trying to figure out how to downplay dissent or have papers that would seem to undermine one part or another of anthropogenic global warming theory ignored or discredited.

To be clear, these e-mails do not disprove that humans are causing potentially catastrophic global warming. Whether or not humans are or are not, in fact, causing or contributing to dangerous climate change, the only thing clear that emerges from the Climategate e-mails is that the scientists claiming that “the science is settled” and that there is “consensus” among scientists that humankind are acting as planet killers, can’t be trusted, nor can their research be pointed to as solid proof of anthropogenic global warming.

…

The term skeptic has historically been a badge of honor proudly worn by scientists as indicating their commitment to the idea that in the pursuit of truth, nothing is beyond question, every bit of knowledge is open to improvement and/or refutation as new evidence or better theories emerge. However, in the topsy-turvy field of climate science, “skeptic” is a term of opprobrium and to be labeled a skeptic is akin to being a heretic in the Middle Ages – you may not be literally burned at the stake, but your reputation will be put to flames.

The Climategate scientists continue to claim that the actions disclosed are not bad as they seem and that nothing contained in the e-mails is really important. But this is like the Wizard of Oz saying “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,” when in fact the real action is going on behind the curtain.

Of course, this “ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist” is Dr. H. Sterling Burnett who specializes in Environmental Ethics. As such Dr. Burnett must be suffering from a personality disorder to demand the employment of ethics in science.

I wonder, if Dr. Burnett does not exhibit such hatred as the commenter quoted above exhibits to ideas such as a belief in God, will he be stripped of his title and expelled from science all together? As political correctness is bureaucratic herding by its very nature Emerson's quote, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" comes to mind since it is foolishly consistent.

Ah, the supporters of science (that can't believe in science because they don't understand science) will come out of the woodwork like vermin. Again. Why? Because an army of modern day Galileos looked at settled science and unsettled the PC crowd which is making tons of money off of their "green" minions by showing the science isn't settled at all.

The emails also show AGW scientists conspiring to smear those who disagree with their apocalyptic diagnosis of the planetary temperature, and discussing with one another how to hide or minimize contrary evidence and evade lawful requests for their data.

The tables have turned as the status quo is being proven to be no more than a group of money grubbing people using science as their personal taxpayer subsidized ATM. Now it is the secular religion of global warming that must face science. Will they? Sure, if they can turn a profit. They're only human.

Can we finally agree that the mixing of Politics and Science ensures the death of science and the expansion of politics into arenas where political consideration have no business? Anthropogenic Global Warming is the 2nd biggest story ever told. If you are still a believer you're probably also a boot licker for Obama, or perhaps you've moved your sights upward some.....

AGW: A hoax foisted on us by liars in science and politics for monetary gain, false prestige and control and power. Typical big government type thinkers who are merely small smug self-righteous bullies.

“A lot of this stuff is contaminated with urine and feces and who knows what,” Cmdr. Andrew Smith said.

The Occupy schtick was well planned and coordinated well with an adoring media to appear other than it really is, but in the end Occupy is a leftist modern day Potemkin Village. It is a sham facade filled with the dregs of society to give faces and numbers to a faux movement.
